FLAT-FEE SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
What is included and what costs extra
Flat attorney fee for one initial E-2 employee consular visa application with a qualifying E-2 company. Includes review of treaty nationality and employee eligibility, analysis of executive or supervisory duties or essential-skills qualifications, employer and employee documentation review, employer support letter, applicable visa forms, supporting exhibits, consular submission preparation, and interview preparation. Excludes government and reciprocity fees, initial enterprise qualification or registration, dependent applications, translations, travel, USCIS Form I-129 filings, and separate applications or work outside the agreed consular visa matter; these require separate representation. Where applicable, responses to Requests for Evidence (RFEs) relating to the covered matter are included in the flat attorney fee. Any USCIS Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) response arising from this covered application or representation, like a related Request for Evidence (RFE) response, is included in the stated flat attorney fee at no additional attorney charge.
The signed representation agreement controls the exact scope. Government fees and outside costs, where applicable, are not included unless expressly stated.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before we begin
Are government filing fees included in the price?
No. The displayed amount is the attorney fee. USCIS, consular, medical, translation and other third-party charges, when applicable, are separate unless the specific scope expressly says otherwise.
Will you charge an extra attorney fee if USCIS sends an RFE or NOID?
No additional attorney fee is charged for RFE or NOID responses arising within a Green Chavez matter already covered by a flat-fee representation agreement. The separately priced RFE and NOID services are only for new clients with applications filed independently or by another firm.
How do I find out whether my case fits this standard fee?
